Memory
QMS 1660E Print System Reference 5-22
MB Printer Mem
This field shows the size of the physical RAM installed in the printer. If
a hard disk is installed and disk swapping is enabled (Administration/
Memory/Enable Disk Swap), this field also gives the size of available
virtual memory.
System Memory
Also known as System Use, this non-configurable client is the amount
of RAM used to run the printer’s operating system. It’s never
increased or decreased. The system memory subtracted from the
total amount of RAM identifies the amount of RAM available for all the
other memory clients.
Hard Disk Management
You can add one internal IDE hard disk and up to three external SCSI
hard disks to your QMS 1660E Print System. These hard disks serve
as secondary storage places for such items as downloaded fonts,
emulations, and spooled data.
» Note: Hard disk specifications are included in Q-FAX document 6502,
“QMS-tested SIMMs and Hard Disks.” This document contains a
description of each approved hard disk, its manufacturers and part
numbers, and the QMS products on which it can be used. See
appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” of this manual to find out how
to access Q-FAX documents.
Virtual Memory Support
Your printer supports virtual memory capabilities for the spooling
buffer (Administration/Memory/K Mem for Spool menu) and the dis-
play list (Administration/Memory/K Mem Display) clients when a hard
disk is installed and disk swapping is enabled (Administration/Mem-
ory/Enable Disk Swap menu). These capabilities extend the amount
of memory available for certain supported features, such as spooling
and collation. If all of the memory in the spooling buffer or display list
is being used Enable Disk Swap is enabled, the printer stores the
“overflow” on a hard disk.
